a severe honesty,The Mechanics of Virtue, Matt Berry, aphorism 55

55
Vanity is not honesty, but there is no severe honesty without the admission of one’s own vanity ... even as a motive for one’s honesty:  a severe honesty is motivated by the vanity of being more honest than most.  

Vanity does more for honesty than honesty can do for itself.
